For the Photography Show in New York, in April we will show Guido Guidi’s work in a collection entitled the Vernacular - capturing his brilliant visualising of the everyday.
In an interview in 2015, published in Aperture Magazine (220), Guidi was asked about his sense for the vernacular which he shares with the American artist photographer, Lee Friedlander’s work, “I remember that I had seen Friedlander’s name in Ugo Mulas’s photobook New York: The New Art Scene (1967). As soon as Friedlander’s Self Portrait came out in 1970, I bought it, but it was only on the occasion of the lone photography biennial, Venice ’79, that I was able to meet him. That was when I heard him talk about the vernacular. He said he wasn’t interested in art photography, but in the vernacular photograph, in the snapshot. I could relate to this, of course, since I had grown up with the family photographs shot by my uncle, who had them printed at the photography store before gluing them into an album.”
